I agree with renaming one award, but I think Most Compassionate should be the Linda Award.
Anyway we're derailing from the main topic.

I would actually prefer MVP to become the Linda award, because that would recognise her contribution across many areas of 667 (she has in the past won Compassionate, Organiser and Writing) - whereas Compassionate is for many of us (well, some of us, we're all growing old and fading away now) associated especially with someone else.

I also thought of re-naming a permanent award after Linda, but I don't mind which one. I also wonder if it makes sense if we name an award after Linda and then she ends up winning it.
Also maybe we could do some sort of lifetime achievement award for Linda as the special category this year. It would be a different kind of award because there would be no voting, but I think it would still work.

That's actually a really good idea, Anka.

Is that the only suggestion then? This thread turned into something confusing.
I can also make a poll about which award we should name after Linda.

There've been several suggestions - Most Mysterious, Best Person at Finding Out Stuff to do with the Netflix Series (that probably needs a snappier name) and a revival of Most Likely to be Trip from the Future. That's not counting ones that duplicate things we've already had. I don't know if the proposers of these want to go ahead with them, though.

I would support either having this year's special category be a lifetime achievement award for Linda, or renaming the Most Valued Poster award in her honour and having this year's special category be Netflix-related - which seems appropriate, as the Netflix series has a time limit on years when we could possibly give awards for it. It's also possible to do all three - Linda-based MVP, Netflix special category, Linda lifetime achievement award for a one-off total of fourteen.
Alternatively, the special award could be for the best new name for these awards. (Yes, I am aware that this process has been formally deferred until next year.)

That's a really good idea too. I will throw these in a poll.

I just realised hat I just made a poll even though for most of these nobody has given a reason why they are related to this year. Is that a problem?

Best Person at.... because the Netflix series is this year.
Most Likely to be... because it was originally Linda's joke, so a tribute to her.
Best New Name... because the question of renaming the awards was raised this year.
Can't say about the others.

will we vote in another thread about changing the title of MVP, or is that pretty much decided?

I don't see a problem with giving a Lifetime Achievement Award for Linda in addition to a competitive special category, but the other options aren't too great except for Best New Name, which we have to do at some point anyway.

I'm voting for Best New Name, but that's assuming we're making Linda's Lifetime Achievemnt Award a separate 14th award for this year.
"Best Person at Finding Out Stuff to do with the Netflix Series (that probably needs a snappier name)" would also be fine, even if I think the Netflix series doesn't need a snappy name. Or is it the winner of the award that needs a snappier name? Or maybe the Stuff they Find Out? Kidding aside, I'm rooting for that category being phrased exactly the way it is in the poll, parenthesis included, if it becomes this year's special category.

Yes, I think the lifetime achievement award for Linda should be a separate thing, like Chapter 14.
I'm voting for the Netflix award, because while it's true that that will be possible nest year as well, it will have faded from memory a bit by then (not the actual series, but the process of making it).

I also agree that there should be a separate lifetime achievement award for Linda -- I think it makes sense to have a special category that theoretically anyone could win, and also have something particularly for Linda.
